    -Mercon 5
    -MM adjustable clutch cable I've played with the adjustment to get it just right
    -I remembered after I wrote that that rev doesn't have synchro

    anyone know T5 specialties in London? Sells rebuilt t5s

    Synchros last me 3 years, I keep extra set sitting on shelf....7000rpm shifts and low gears in rear don't help.

    Little 2V 700+ RWHP, Pump Gas

    Firewall adjuster. I followed the specs from Maximum motorsports. Though they say “8lbs of force should move the pedal 1/2 inch” it’s hard to judge when my leg is pushing exactly 8lbs.

    At the firewall adjuster, pulled the cable with your hand forward / away from the adjuster, should have approx a loonie width of gap between flat on the cable and adjuster. Never ever ever go any tighter, hair looser is fine so long as your able to properly shift.

    I don’t know if this Info helps but I just seen on American muscle you can get a new T5 that’s built better from factor for 2200$ not sure if this is good or not

    Right. Just to clarify, when you (and MM) say tighter, that means unscrewing the adjuster (counterclockwise)?

    Yes.

    Yes, it makes me want to buy an entire brand new transmission. The price you saw is, however, in USD and would probably have an expensive truck freight delivery charge even if I were to ship it to the border and pick it up myself.

    Did you try to adjust as I suggested?
    Get a number in every season where adjustment is out to lunch.
